house dust mites 30c

i have recently found out through allergy testing via a blood sample that my 2.5 year old daughter has strong house dust mite allergy which is a main reason/trigger for her recent asthma type problems etc which have taken her to hospital twice. i have already started to look into moving out of our carpeted rental and i clean the house well regularly.
so i have bought some house dust mite 30c homeopathic but cannot find any information on how to give it to her....
do i give a one a day, two a day, one every two days, one a week??? when???
i'd appreciated any well informed info you may have. thank you. Anjuli

This is just a forum. Assume posts are not from medical professionals.
The method of giving the same substance in potentized form which is causing allergy may be called as tautopathy. This is not homeopathy. You should provide complete details in respect of your child to suggest a homeopathic remedy. Please copy the Questionnaire from the following thread
http://www.abchomeopathy.com/forum2.php/188925/
and post all the questions here duly answered. On that basis your remedy may be worked out.
Please write NA for the questions that are not relevant for her age.

hi kadwa thankyou for your quick response... here is the questionnaire

Patient ID: Sex: female Age: 2.5

Please answer the following questions in a descriptive manner after careful analysis and recollection of previous experiences and happenings.

Describe your main suffering?
When she catches a cold or cough she gets a runny nose which develops into a chesty cough and then onto wheezing and shallow breath resulting in inadequate oxygen etc. There is no visible phlegm bought up and spat out. This has happened 3 or 4 times since we moved into our carpeted rental in may 2009 and she has been sent to hospital overnight twice being given inhaler and steroids which i’m not happy about. The other times the shallow breath has been a 24 hr thing not too severe and goes. Between this happening she is perfect health. There have been a few occasions when she has caught a cold and had no breathing difficulty.


2. What other physical sufferings do you have in your body?
She has had a few cases of diarrhea but nothing worrying.

3. What mental sufferings / feelings do you have associated with your physical sufferings?
She’s generally a very happy lively outgoing busy little girl and doesn’t get to down or upset when she gets the colds/cough her energy levels stay pretty normal


4. What exactly do you feel when you are at your worst?

When we moved into our rental in may 2009. It is a concrete house, carpeted, curtains.... Dusty.... I want to move into a timber floor board house!!!

6. Which time of the day you are worst?
sleeping

7. What are the things which aggravate your suffering and which are those which ameliorate the same?
Found out that she is allergic strongly to house dust mite which is obvious now as this started when we moved into this house. and I think that dairy may be a trigger of the asthmatic reaction to the dust so I am doing a trial of no dairy to see when she next catches a cold if it develops into the problem.... She is very healthy and eats a wheat and sugar free diet also. In severe cases (hospital) the oxygen and inhalers do help to relax her lungs etc. I Also took her to have acupuncture several times and have been giving her chinese paediatric herbal medicine which has boosted her immunity and I also use moxa on her and chest rubs which have all helped in her quick recovery in most cases. I also give her aconite at the start of any cough. I use essential oils in burners and bath to assist also.

8. Do your think your sufferings have relation to any external stimuli (like, change of place) or any internal biological changes in the body, like, menses (in females)?
we moved to australia in dec 2008 and left england and her aunt and grandma and all our friends.. a big move and quite stressful.
but I think its mainly dust mite allergy.

9. When do you feel better, during hot weather or cold weather, humid or dry weather?
None... but Sometimes colds are worsened/aggravated by a drastic change in weather.

10. Describe your general mental set up? Are you Moody, Arrogant, Mild, Agreeable Changeable, Nervous, Suspicious, Easily offended, Quiet, Arguing, Irritating, Lazy etc. GENERALLY VERY HAPPY AND CURIOUS... Can be impatient.

No

kadwa last decade
thank you so much... ill let you know how it goes
 
babamalia last decade
um, i was just wondering what house dust mite 30c can be used for if not for dust allergy??? thanks

day 1 has gone well...

also, i have 'new era' ferr. phos. and on the ingredients it says, iron phosphate 6X.. is that the right stuff??
thanks again
 
babamalia last decade
ferrum phos 6x can also be called as ferrum phosphoricum 6x which can also be called as ferrum phoshate 6x and can also be called as iron phosphate 6x. So i think it is in order.


um, i was just wondering what house dust mite 30c can be used for if not for dust allergy???
The method of giving the same substance in potentized form which is causing allergy may be called as tautopathy. This is not homeopathy. This is not a proved remedy and it is not a part of Standard Materia Medica. So it is better not to use it for any purpose.
 
kadwa last decade
okay, thank you very much!
 
babamalia last decade
hi i just noticed my daughter is very hot. (9.55pm) i took her ear temp and it was 37.5.. is that just a reaction to the pulsatilla?

also i have just discovered she has what looks like a verruca on the underneath middle of her left big toe. is there anything i can give her for that? like thuja?

thank you
 
babamalia last decade
You should wait for the specified period. We cannot give new remedies every now and then. Please take appropriate measures if you think that something serious is happening. Everything that happens after giving the remedy may not necessarily be happening due to the remedy. Otherwise also pulsatilla is a specific remedy for children and it is safe.

hi
from the 30th jan, my daughter had a 36 hour low grade fever and i continued to give her the remedies.
but now i have had to stop.
on day 4/5 my daughter developed a bad chesty cough following her fever. on day 5 she took the first two doses but by dose three she was really chesty and i had to give her a dose of flixotide inhaler and put herbal chest rub on her so didnt give her the third dose...
she's still has a chesty cough and blocked nose today (day 6) and i haven't given her any homeopathy due to strong herbal chest rubs etc.
should i continue with the last 5 days when she is better? or will you advice me of a new program for her?
ill let you know when she is better..?
thank you
 
babamalia last decade
OK. Please report her symptoms when this acute phase is over. Also report changes if any that you think that pulsatilla has effected. i understand that reporting won't be easy due this acute episode taking place soon after taking the remedy.
 
kadwa last decade
hi
there are no changes i can think of that have been effected by puls...
um today her cough has finished and she is better. she had no wheezing during this cough.
i took her to a doctor while she was sick and he asked about her whole history and basically said he didnt think she has 'asthma' and that she also has no symptoms of dust mite allergy so he didnt think she has an active allergy.
but i think that dairy may be triggering an active 'allergic' response to the dust when she gets a cough making it wheezy etc. so i havent been giving her any dairy since xmas.
what do you suggest with remedies etc?
thanks for your help!!
 
babamalia last decade
On the basis of following symptoms i think that puls is her remedy.

**She’s generally a very happy lively outgoing busy little girl

**we moved to australia in dec 2008 and left england and her aunt and grandma and all our friends.. a big move and quite stressful.

You need not give her puls if there is nothing wrong. But otherwise Puls can work for her. Whenever there is any need you may give three doses at a gap of 4 hours for one day and observe how she responds in the next few days.
 
kadwa last decade
In my opinion, Tautopathy should be attempted, when pathologically it is 100% certain and other homeopathic medicines didn't work. Usually time to build resistance is three to six months.

It basically claimed to be faster than allopathic desensitization which takes one - three years and can provide five - ten years of desensitization. Please note that it is 'claimed' and approved.

Sorry typo: 'claimed' and not approved.

kadwa:

just wondered what you mean by..
'whenever there is any need'.....
what constitutes a need??
a cough, diarrhoea, etc??
mood, irritability??
or just anything out of the norm?
thankyou


dhundhun:

if i were to give her the dust mite allergy pills... what would you suggest the dose should be for a 2.5yr old?
i am undecided as to whether i should give them to her and from kadwa's advice i haven't given her any. im also unsure to give them as the doctor said she doesnt have dust mite allergy symptoms... what do you think?
thankyou

**Yes. Anything significantly out of norm like cough, diarrhoea, fever.

One cannot say that it can work in case of mood irritability because pulsatilla works for those having mild disposition.

Well, the problem with allergen pills are that they also can cause allergy.

Since she has allergy to dust mite, giving her 4 pills should in 6x or 30 should cause aggravation - which body anyway does not know, how to cope with.

So starting dose is 1/4 to 1/10 of normal and slowly increase to normal (This is not normal Homeopathy practice).

Suppose it is 6X/30 and 4 pills are normal with 3 times a day.

Start with 1 pill a day. Plan it to bring 4 pills three times a day in two weeks time frame as tolerance builds up and there are no unwanted aggravations.

kadwa:

thankyou


dhundhun:

the pills i have are house dust mite 30c soft tablet. there is no dosage advice on the container...
so i dont know what the normal dose would be for an infant?

the normal dose for an infant on my other soft tablet tissue salt remedies is 1 tablet.... 3 times a day for chronic cases.

i cant really split 1 soft tablet into 4 pieces without touching it.... so what could i do?

would it be good to just give her 1 tablet 3 times a day for two weeks and see how she reacts???
 
babamalia last decade
Take one A4 size pure white paper. Split it into 12 pieces. Put one soft tablet in one paper, fold paper and crush it with finger tip.

Now divide crushed power in four parts. Similarly crush two more and make total 12 dose. You can start like:
1
1
1
1+1
1+1
1+1
1+1
Then make medicine by dividing into two parts.
1+1
1+1
1+1
1+1+1
1+1+1
1+1+1
Now start giving one full soft tablet three times.

It may take 2-3 months to develop tolerance.
 
dhundhun last decade
This way, you don't touch medicine with finger. Try using new and clean white paper.
 
dhundhun last decade
About Pulsatilla (I think, what Dr. Kadwa meant by 'whenever there is any need'.):

In homeopathy, a medicine is for a person and not for one single disease. Pulsatilla is a medicine for your daughter, it will work for most of the cases and work any time.

He is not directly attending your daughter in person and symptoms have been changing, it is better that acute case is taken care by her attending doctor. Further he meant that when acute symptoms are not there, Pulastilla can be used to strengthen her constitution, so that she does not get allergy again.
 
dhundhun last decade
okay.. thank you very much!
 
babamalia last decade
I am useing House Dust and House Dust mite 30c .Regularly in my practice in cases of Allergey to dust and Dust mites and I can say that if u go for the allergy test before giving the medicine and get it done after one month of usage of this remedy .The senstivity will reduce .
The medicine should be given two drops three times a day .
The reports are re producible also
